Software Requirements > EQ on Mobile Devices

EQ Software is a desktop product so to use it on a tablet such as an iPad, iPhone, Android tablet, Microsoft Surface or similar tablet you need a remote connection to a PC desktop. For a standard Windows desktop computer this will be a screen sharing remote control application. Also note that Microsoft Surface Pro will run a full version of Windows that you would be able to install EQ onto directly (note that you couldn't network over WiFi for your EQ data)

Connecting to standard desktop PCs

A simple remote login application is LogMeIn (www.logmein.com) or Teamviewer (www.teamviewer.com). You install their application on a desktop PC and it runs in the background ready for a remote connection from another connected device (another computer, tablet or even phone). Ensure that the computer you want to control is left switched on and does not go into any power saving mode. Each of these providers have their own application for mobile use.

Be aware that using a remote control application will simulate you using this computer so a user sitting at the same computer would not be able to use it at the same time. When using an iPad or iPhone over a 3G network be aware that your data usage could become significant so please check your data tariff.

Connecting to terminal servers (with Microsoft Remote Desktop Client)

If you use a terminal server you can use a dedicated application on your tablet/phone from Microsoft called Remote Desktop Connection. Search on the app store for your device for the application and you will need to configure it with your server address and server logon details.
